Louis van Gaal: Why I demoted Memphis to the Under-21 squad

 Van Gaal's decision to throw the Holland international in with the youngsters raised plenty of eyebrows,
especially given the fact it came less than 24 hours after the 21-year-old's crucial error against Chelsea

And the Dutchman has revealed the winger was included in the match in order to give him a much needed confidence boost.
“I think for him it was a very good match as it could raise his confidence and I have seen the reaction of the fans," he said.

"These fans are the real fans, those who look to the second team, and they were very enthusiastic.
"He had three assists, but all his actions was very enthusiastic and it is also good for him.”
